00:43:52.340 --> 00:43:55.320
patently<00:43:53.159><c> obvious</c><00:43:54.280><c> why</c><00:43:54.539><c> they're</c><00:43:54.760><c> doing</c><00:43:55.000><c> this.</c>

00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:59.179
Because<00:43:55.960><c> every</c><00:43:56.559><c> age</c><00:43:56.900><c> must</c><00:43:57.219><c> have</c><00:43:57.400><c> challenged</c><00:43:57.900><c> these</c><00:43:58.260><c> things.</c>

00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.699
So<00:44:07.719><c> what's</c><00:44:08.179><c> the</c><00:44:08.539><c> solution</c><00:44:08.960><c> that</c><00:44:09.119><c> the</c><00:44:09.300><c> apostles</c><00:44:09.599><c> and</c><00:44:09.760><c> Jesus</c><00:44:10.059><c> say?</c><00:44:10.420><c> They</c><00:44:10.579><c> go</c>

00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:23.239
So<00:44:18.360><c> it's</c><00:44:18.559><c> an</c><00:44:18.760><c> invalid</c><00:44:19.079><c> argument</c><00:44:19.619><c> to</c><00:44:20.199><c> say</c><00:44:20.480><c> that</c><00:44:20.739><c> we</c><00:44:20.940><c> have</c><00:44:21.139><c> to</c><00:44:21.340><c> shift</c><00:44:21.480><c> things</c><00:44:21.719><c> because</c><00:44:22.039><c> society</c><00:44:22.619><c> today</c><00:44:22.960><c> is</c>

00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:27.760

00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:35.179

00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.659
By<00:45:31.880><c> beguiling,</c><00:45:33.579><c> by</c><00:45:33.579><c> another</c><00:45:34.199><c> alternative</c><00:45:34.780><c> philosophy</c><00:45:35.340><c> being</c>

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:38.239
presented<00:45:36.059><c> to</c><00:45:36.400><c> Eve,</c><00:45:36.659><c> her</c><00:45:36.900><c> mind</c><00:45:37.199><c> was</c><00:45:37.480><c> corrupted</c><00:45:37.719><c> because</c><00:45:38.000><c> her</c>

00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:39.860
mind<00:45:38.440><c> was</c><00:45:38.679><c> clear.</c>

00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:43.920
Perhaps<00:45:41.780><c> we</c><00:45:41.980><c> should</c><00:45:42.239><c> just</c><00:45:42.599><c> paraphrase</c><00:45:43.079><c> this</c><00:45:43.300><c> to</c><00:45:43.539><c> save</c><00:45:43.699><c> a</c><00:45:43.780><c> bit</c>

00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:47.059
of<00:45:44.119><c> time</c><00:45:44.280><c> because</c><00:45:44.519><c> otherwise</c><00:45:44.860><c> we'll</c><00:45:45.119><c> just</c><00:45:45.300><c> fall</c><00:45:45.500><c> further</c><00:45:45.800><c> behind.</c>

00:45:47.280 --> 00:46:03.199
As<00:45:47.320><c> God</c><00:45:47.480><c> said,</c><00:45:48.619><c> you're</c><00:45:48.960><c> not</c><00:45:49.079><c> to</c><00:45:49.219><c> touch</c><00:45:49.480><c> the</c><00:45:50.300><c> tree</c><00:45:50.679><c> of</c><00:45:54.960><c> knowledge</c><00:45:55.719><c> you're</c>

00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:06.739
going<00:46:04.000><c> to</c><00:46:06.739><c> do.</c>

00:46:06.739 --> 00:46:10.380
That's<00:46:07.079><c> not</c><00:46:07.300><c> actually</c><00:46:07.539><c> what</c><00:46:07.739><c> God</c><00:46:07.960><c> said,</c><00:46:08.380><c> but</c><00:46:08.539><c> she</c><00:46:08.719><c> adds</c><00:46:08.960><c> that.</c>

00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:13.340
So<00:46:10.980><c> she</c><00:46:11.219><c> understood</c><00:46:11.639><c> very</c><00:46:12.039><c> clearly</c><00:46:12.340><c> what</c><00:46:12.599><c> the</c><00:46:12.920><c> proposal</c><00:46:13.119><c> was,</c>

00:46:13.539 --> 00:46:19.099
but<00:46:14.420><c> the</c><00:46:14.800><c> serpent</c><00:46:14.900><c> says,</c><00:46:16.079><c> lest</c><00:46:18.659><c> we</c><00:46:18.880><c> die.</c>

00:46:19.219 --> 00:46:21.599
The<00:46:19.380><c> serpent</c><00:46:19.579><c> says</c><00:46:19.960><c> you</c><00:46:20.500><c> should</c><00:46:20.659><c> not</c><00:46:20.820><c> surely</c><00:46:21.059><c> die,</c><00:46:21.340><c> that's</c>

00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:24.300
not<00:46:21.760><c> the</c><00:46:21.940><c> issue.</c><00:46:22.179><c> Now</c><00:46:22.400><c> comes</c><00:46:22.619><c> another</c><00:46:22.960><c> philosophy</c><00:46:23.699><c> from</c><00:46:23.980><c> left</c>

00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.599
For<00:46:26.300><c> God</c><00:46:26.599><c> knows</c><00:46:27.320><c> that</c><00:46:27.739><c> the</c><00:46:27.800><c> day</c><00:46:28.059><c> you</c><00:46:28.219><c> eat</c><00:46:28.559><c> that</c><00:46:29.079><c> tree,</c><00:46:30.000><c> you'll</c>

00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:33.059
be<00:46:30.780><c> as</c><00:46:31.079><c> the</c><00:46:31.260><c> Elohim,</c><00:46:31.739><c> knowing</c><00:46:31.840><c> good</c><00:46:32.079><c> and</c><00:46:32.239><c> evil.</c>

00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.920
I<00:46:34.860><c> hadn't</c><00:46:35.099><c> thought</c><00:46:35.360><c> of</c><00:46:35.480><c> that,</c><00:46:35.860><c> says</c><00:46:35.940><c> Eve.</c><00:46:37.300><c> I</c><00:46:37.480><c> hadn't</c><00:46:37.679><c> thought</c>
